P-39s was the mount of choice for a large number of the "Kuban Wing" which in turn was the spawn point of over half the Soviet aces.

thanks guy's.

got wings and tail attached, then found the nose wheel leg needed to be attached when the fuselage went together !
managed to get it fitted in the end by chopping off one of the locating pins (should of read the instruction more carefully i suppose.........

If misreading instructions was a sin you know where we would all eventually end up


Keep up the good work.

Sometimes ignoring the instructions is okay, other times…………………………

Did good with that exhaust though.
